Reefkid88 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 So,how much is something going to be that's 2 strips like that ? Say if you don't need a controller and drivers,just the housing,sinks and strips ? Also,what's the length on that thing ? Link to comment
BillyW Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 So that is sick looking Dave, very nicely done! My question is was that the 12" version? Would the 24" one be 4 of those strips? Super excited to see these develop and have one but probably a pair over my tank! Link to comment
braaap Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Dave - I need one for my SW fuge just like you posted today. How much? Link to comment
VW_TDI_02 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Wait, you're offering one of those for only $30 or are the individual strips (no case) $30? Link to comment
evanski Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Dave, Thought you said these were blue/white only...but did I spy two lime greens in the pic you posted over your FW tank? Busted, Dude! BTW my Eco is the bomb and it saved my tank...thanks again. Link to comment
Halo_003 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 WTB 12" Fuge for my canister system. Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Wait, you're offering one of those for only $30 or are the individual strips (no case) $30? I'm assuming just the 6up strip is $30. Shit,if that was the case id buy 2 tomorrow lol. Link to comment
DaveFason Posted May 14, 2015 Author Share Posted May 14, 2015 Just the array. Still working on the pricing itself. -Dave Link to comment

braaap Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Just the array. Still working on the pricing itself. -Dave I'd like to place the first order for the fuge light. I need to be a NB purchaser. Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Just two?? haha. Yup,side by side,that'd be killer. Link to comment
WhiteWulfe Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 This product is making me so excited. Here are a few teasers from my personal tank. Excuse the dirt! This is the FW/FUGE BEAM. beamteaserfw1 by David Fason, on Flickr beamteaserfw by David Fason, on Flickr -Dave Ohhh man now I definitely want a small lil rockwork planted tank now! .....Great, now I'm back on the idea of 2x IM Fusion 10's and 1x IM Fusion 20, with the 20 being saltwater.... Those lights are GORGEOUS! Link to comment
BillyW Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Looks amazing! Any pictures of the reef array? Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Looks amazing! Any pictures of the reef array?There is actinic or white, no combination. Link to comment
BillyW Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 Yeah that's what I meant, actinic Link to comment
Maximus831 Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 How would this compare to a Reefbrite xho actinic fixture? I'm in the market for a 24" actinic fixture that I can retrofit into my wooden canopy. Would your 24" unit work? Link to comment

The LEDs used in the BEAM are the same as the NBR line. -Dave Link to comment
Maximus831 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Thanks Dave. Do you know when the 24" strip will be available? Btw, what is the NBR line? Link to comment
RJWalters Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Thanks Dave. Do you know when the 24" strip will be available? Btw, what is the NBR line? NBR line is "NanoBox Reef Line" of lights such as the mini tide, duo, quad, and hybrid Link to comment
BillyW Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I am so beyond excited to see the 24" actinic version!!! Link to comment
quackenbush Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Technical question: I have a NanoCube 24 with a NanoCube 28 LED Pro hood. The hood has 5 strips of 5x3w LEDs (CW I assume). The 5 strips are run in parallel. Four of my strips have burnt out bulbs and are done, so I am currently only running on one strip of five 3W bulbs. Can I replace these stock strips with these NanoBox Beam LED strips? Do I need all the same type or could I mix 2 actinic in with one fuge/fresh strip? I would just throw out the remaining JBJ LED strip as I assume that mixing Beam strips with JBJ strips would create too much load imbalance. FWIW, I believe the system is 24v. Thoughts from Dave or any of the LED specialists here? Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 No, you cannot do a direct swap. The stock strips are driven with a constant voltage power supply, which is not the 'proper' way to do it. If you tried to push 24v through six LEDs, they'd be at 4v each and would want to pull several amps and would destroy the LEDs instantly. Link to comment

So then, I want to keep the JBJ hood, which leaves me with a retro kit. The tank inner dimensions are roughly 17" wide and 13" deep (front to back depth, not top to bottom). If I go cheap and get a single array NanoBox retro (small), I'm guessing I'm not going to get the spread and have a lot of shadows, so that leaves me with having to drop another $100 and get the large, dual array. Or can I retro a hood with a single array and still get good coverage in a 13 x 17" area? What beam angles do Dave's LEDs have? Link to comment

If you don't plan on a full SPS tank, then a single array will give the coverage you need. Being so close to the water is the main issue with spread (SPS want light coming in from more than one angle for best coloration across them), you'll have plenty of power even from a single array.
